Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The proportion of positive scintigrams is related to disease severity in each
group.
Secondary outcome
none
Background summary
Right ventricular (RV) disease cannot be adequately treated, as its
pathophysiology is unknown. New insights indicate that inflammation may play a
role.
Study objective
To study whether inflammmation plays a role in patients with RV disease, and
can be detected with Gallium-67 scintigraphy
Study design
A single Gallium-67 scintigram is conducted.
Study burden and risks
Risk is negligable (Gallium-67 scintigraphy is routinely used in clinical
practice, e.g., in cardiac disease)
Burden is limited: intravenous injection and 1 extra hospital visit, total
duration 60 min.
